Identity thieves could potentially gather information on you from images that you share online. A photo posted on your birthday, for example, would provide them with your date of birth, whereas a photo of a new house could potentially give them details of where you live.

With your personal information, scammers can: access and drain your bank account. open new bank accounts in your name and take out loans or lines of credit. access your social media accounts and impersonate you to scam your family and friends.
